## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board UI is where operators create issues, inspect issue-thread
decisions, write markdown, and move between issue workflow surfaces.
> - A broad recovered branch mixed these operator workflow polish fixes
with unrelated backend, pipeline, plugin, eval, and work-product
changes.
> - Reviewers need the operator UI workflow fixes in a small PR that can
be understood without pulling in the rest of that recovery branch.
> - This pull request extracts only the issue workflow UI slice:
interaction cards, markdown editing fallback behavior, create-issue work
mode shortcuts, file-viewer URL handling, and issue navigation scroll
behavior.
> - The benefit is a lower-risk review path for operator workflow fixes
while keeping unrelated execution-workspace and server work out of this
PR.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #8866, the closed broad source PR that this focused slice was
extracted from.
- Related: #8228 is an open UI polish PR, but its file list does not
overlap this branch.
- Related: #4090 is older merged operator workflow polish context.
No public GitHub issue exists for this exact extracted slice. The
problem is that several small operator issue-workflow fixes were bundled
inside a broad recovery branch, making them hard to review and ship
independently.
## What Changed
- Removed interaction continuation wake-policy labels from issue-thread
interaction card headers and updated the card test/story copy
accordingly.
- Added a markdown editor error boundary so rich editor render crashes
fall back to a raw textarea instead of breaking the compose surface.
- Made the create-issue work-mode shortcut accept ctrl-period and iOS
hardware-keyboard command-period-as-Escape behavior without dismissing
the dialog.
- Fixed file-viewer URL navigation to compare against the live browser
search string when router state is stale.
- Restored scroll reset when navigating from an issue detail route back
to the issue index, while preserving browser-history restoration
behavior.

## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/IssueThreadInteractionCard.test.tsx
ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.test.tsx
ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx
ui/src/context/FileViewerContext.test.ts
ui/src/lib/navigation-scroll.test.ts` — 5 files, 102 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
## Risks
Low risk. The PR is limited to UI workflow components/helpers and their
tests. Main behavioral risks are keyboard shortcut edge cases across
browsers and fallback editor rendering, both covered by focused tests.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent (`gpt-5` family; exact served
variant and context window are not exposed in this runtime), with
terminal, Git, GitHub, and test execution tools.
